　　The water tap was leaking (漏水) again, and the noise was driving Cassie crazy.

　　Cassie looked at her watch. It was nearly nine o’clock. She climbed out of bed and stood on a chair by the shelf. Her mother’s Mr. Fix-It Book was on the top shelf. Cassie stepped down quietly. She read the book quickly until she found the page she was looking for, and then began to read carefully.

　　Next, Cassie opened a box in the kitchen and picked out the tools she needed — a hammer, a wrench, and several small things. It was no easy job for her to do the repair, and she tried several times. Finally, the water tap was in pieces. One by one, she carefully laid them out on the table. That way she would know how they went back. While this was going on, her cat walked over to watch what she was doing.

　　Cassie worked late into the night. At one point, she thought she was done. Oops! A small piece that she had forgotten still lay on the table. Slowly Cassie took the water tap apart（分开）one more time. This time she made sure everything was in place. She turned the water tap on and then off. One…two…three…She waited a full minute. There was no leak! Cassie smiled and put the tools back into the box. Then she went back into bed.

　　The next morning, Dad was in the kitchen when Cassie got up.

　　“Notice anything, Dad ” she asked.

　　He looked around and listened. “Hmm, something’s missing… I can’t find out what it is… Wait, it’s too quiet in here!”

　　“That’s right,” Cassie said. “Something is missing. I fixed the water tap. It doesn’t leak

　　any more.”

　　More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

　　Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.

　　Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

　　A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (声誉) .

　　A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.

　　A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.

　　There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.
